He called an election in the middle of the pandemic....
Again, except for people crossing the border, Trudeau has pretty much nothing to do with the things the protesters are complaining about. The only reason they are after Trudeau and the Federal government is because they don't want to protest against the conservative governments in their provinces who are the ones actually implementing these restrictions.

As someone who grew up in rural Canada, I am reminded that farmers are hardworking, decent and helpful people, when I saw those farming tractors last night....
What do farmers have to do with the vaccine mandate for international truckers?

An assault on reality. Sad that people prefer Ezra's spin over what was actually said.
Ezra is a piece of work. Anyone who takes his rag Rebel News seriously is basically on the side of FRINGE.

Ezra Isaac Levant is a Canadian media personality, far-right[4] political activist, writer, and broadcaster. He founded Rebel News (which he owns) and Western Standard (being its former publisher). He has worked as a columnist for Sun Media, and hosted a daily program on the Sun News Network from the channel's inception in 2011 until its demise in 2015.

In February 2015, Levant founded The Rebel Media (also known as Rebel News) along with Brian Lilley. He is currently its main contributor after Brian Lilley resigned, citing "lack of editorial and behavioural judgment that left unchecked will destroy it and those around it".[5] Under Levant, Rebel Media has been accused of being a platform for the far-right anti-Muslim ideology known as counter-jihad[6][7] and is widely associated with promoting hatred and dangerous right-wing propaganda posing an active threat to marginalized groups in Canada.[8][9]

Levant has become involved in several legal and other controversies on free speech issues. Levant has been successfully sued for libel on two occasions, while apologies and retractions were issued by him or on his behalf on three other occasions. In rulings for two legal cases, judges said of Levant that he has a "reckless disregard for the truth".[10][11]

This was the size of the counter protest :ROFLMAO:
The health professionals are busy saving lives put at risk by the loudmouth yahoos.

PS: There are few things that pisses me off more than hindering ambulances to reach hospitals.

Yes. That was easy.

In a GTA of 5 million people, having a couple thousand people at QP is pretty fringe
Absolutely no way this is just a fringe minority.

Did you believe Trudeau as well when he said the Ottawa protestors are racist??

The Nazi swastika has been occasionally associated w racism, Lol. Ditto the Confederate flag. And ditto the organizer making a public speech denouncing Jews and Asians and claiming that the "White Race" is going to be "replaced".

What's your proof that they're NOT racists?..... That they said they weren't, in a carefully edited press release?
